So the greatest common factor 29,173,531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,602,969
2 | 258, 602, 969 |
3 | 129, 301, 969 |
43 | 43, 301, 323 |
1, 7, 323 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 43 x 1 x 7 x 323 = 583338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/583338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/258,173/602,531/969 is 1/583338
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 258,602,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,602,969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 258
GCF(258,602,969) x common factors =1 x 258 = 258
LCM(258,602,969) = ( 258 × 602 × 969 ) / 258
LCM(258,602,969) = 150501204 / 258
LCM(258,602,969) = 583338
